hp evos 18 x 8
bfgoodrich kdw2 245 45 18

not lowered yet. probably go 245 40 18 when that happens.

tires feel reel nice

actually ordered the hyper silver but got the dark ones instead. I decided to keep them. Tough decission.

 

Im actually glad you mistakenly got the hyper-dark. With your car's color they look better than the hyper-silver would have. If you dont go for too much drop you should be OK with the tire size you have on there now.

One question....Does the fish on the back make it go faster?

 

Tires are tooo meaty...

 

Yeah 245's are pushing it on 18x8, I have 18x8's on the front of mine. I have the 18x9's on the back so it makes the tires less noticable.

You should look into springs of some sort, it'll compliment the rims hugely.

 

What should have gone with then? 18x9 ?

Just wondering for future research into my tires/rims as well.

thanks

 

i would've stretched a 225 on! that'll look JDM/EURO ish. the rims are nice though.

 

How do your steering feels after getting wider tires and bigger rim?
Better or worst, care to comment?

 

225 on a 8" wide rim? That's just aksing for curb rash.

 

Geewiz, looks nice. Is the front and rear pretty much flush with the fender lip?

 

somebodys car looks alot like mine does... mines lowered with 235/40 in the front and 255/35 in the rear.

 

I would think painting the lower sill to body color would look better than lowering a sedan. That alone gives you a 2" visual drop without touching the suspension.

 

Not feeling it.

I think the car looks better with stock rims then those.

 

Yea me neither...You may not care, but IMO those tires are wayyyy to fat...Wheels are nice, but the setup just isn't working...Nice rims though

 

The tires are on the meaty side but I actually like that. I know a lot of guys who are getting a bit tired of the super low profile look and I'm a bit like that. One comment I heard was it looks less fragile. Tire width is what I really like to see. I'm not as particular on the side wall. I like to see a much lower profile on the coupes for sure. I like the sudans with more meat. Kind of reminds me of some older sport cars I use to like.

BrainV - I do want to look into some springs soon. Have any suggestions?

m500 - There is a difference in the feel. A bit heavier but its not bad. The tires are great in comparison to the stock goodyear rsa. Preformance wise you really feel you can push it much further. A bit noiser. You can feel the road a bit better but I'm not getting beat up. I do alot of freeway miles and so for thats been pretty good.

dklau33 - There pretty much flush front and rear. I'm happy with them.

g35sedamn - I like the way that looks. got any more picks.

Boon - I agree with you. The darker color blends in well with the chrome. Also not sure about going any faster, but I think it helps me behave.

 

I like the wheel finish. With those 45 series meats is the overall tire diameter larger than stock? To me it looks like the tire to fender gap is reduced.
